Smooth. Very gorgeous mouthful of red wine. It's an amazing buy, as like the Maillet, there is a feel and taste of luxury about it. And I just haven't tasted anything like it from Bordeaux of this kind of right bank Merlot style at this price.  fully expected this to be a £30 bottle and was amazed when I saw the cost.

It is having a significant impact on the quality. I gather the locals are abuzz about this modest family producer, who can see that the potential of this terroir is finally being fulfilled, but without the fanfare or prices that come with some of the famous names around here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Rocher-Gardat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55681508376962,"sku":"A6896122","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/files\/BC_Upload_a65eff61-a062-420f-8569-e740407b6c52.jpg?v=1758029593"},{"product_id":"chateau-maillet-pomerol-2022","title":"Chateau Maillet Pomerol 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFrom next door to Petrus and with the help of the winemaker from Angelus! This fabulous Pomerol is seriously underrated. It is so amazingly wonderful to drink. Each sip is generous but not in the over top way that I've found some famous chateaux in the region trying to be, maybe based on insecurities, thinking \"if I'm a £300 bottle of wine I'd better prove it\". It's simply that this has a beautiful, luxurious feeling fruit profile, with notes of blackcurrant, plum, chocolate, truffle and tobacco. It was so, so very lovely. At under £50 it is a great buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaillet Pomerol is a fairly new, hard fought venture from the Moze Berthon family, who have been making wine in Bordeaux for over 200 years. Working just 4.5ha near the St. Emilion border, their 3 parcels are predominantly made up of Merlot (95%), and the remainder Cabernet Franc. It's been the appointment of Hubert de Bouard of Chateau Angelus as consultant, which has firmly placed this Pomerol on the map. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Maillet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55681543504258,"sku":"A6886122","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/files\/BC_Upload_d9ef9e35-893c-4206-975e-86f6954c9bc9.jpg?v=1758029831"}],"url":"https:\/\/swig.co.uk\/collections\/a-brilliant-right-bank-2022-duo-from-chateau-angelus-winemaker\/12-15.oembed","provider":"Swig Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
